Alfred Brendel performs the Wanderer Fantasy with such finesse and aplomb, that the effort and sacrifice to do it are unimaginable; every note, every passage is clear, even the darker rumblings. This is my favorite piano piece out of all the repertoire for piano solo; my attempts to play it over the years have had their successes and failures. Alfred Brendel's breathtaking performance here is my gold standard and favorite.

Alfred Brendel, like Schubert, descends to give the world joy and poetry through music.

Wanderer Fantasy is especially impressive to me, so brilliant!

私が小さいとき東京の文化会館でで演奏を聴かせて頂きましたありがとうございます 感激いたしました

[@cyeric4x]

Both his lecture and performance of Schubert's music is enjoyable!

[@antomontinaro]

Grande interprete di Schubert.

[@searchers]

Excellent camerawork for a piano recital. No arty, meaningfully changing camera angles, and excessive shots of the pianist's face-like so many current classical musical clips!

[@stefanufer608]

I agree completely

[@keithhoward5120]

His playing is so beautiful you feel as if he is Schubert . Just magical !!Thank you . Brendel is an amazing pianist and human being as well ,I feel .

[@jorgeurzuaurzua4011]

An excellent recording. Brendel is an intellectual artist (whatever that means). Thanks for posting.

The Wanderer Fantasy spot you wanna hear 31:38

[@curtheciscokid]

I feel like Brendel looks like Schubert. Beautiful and enthusiastic playing though for sure.

[@marklilley9308]

excellent observation I agree

[@alecchien3595]

I agree in looks (face). In build, I got the impression Schubert was a tiny guy and Brendel's stature would tower over him in person.

[@REALtuppennyblue]

I always thought he looks like Eric Morecambe...

[@Mrcatlistening]

you absolutely nailed it. There is something so organic about Brendel playing Schubert- and speaking about Schubert's music- in that German, that most gentle, musical, careful and expressive great German language. A reincarnation, by many measures.

[@user-nc4vw5gy9w]

И мне так кажется. Это удивительно. Жаль, что Шуберт так мало жил на свете.
